Again, where have we spoken about who the better mother is?
The topic was what Choti Anu wants. To which we don't think anyone including the writers know.
Choti Anu's character has been badly written because of ALL the reasons mentioned earlier.
Who is a better mother to Choti Anu?
That is in itself a joke because the writers seem to have different priorities. This is a lost case and as Prerna mentioned, I think it's better to close the Choti Anu.
They have insulted the care and love of mothers like Barkha, Rakhi, Kanta enough.
We have seen the Anmol ratna of Anupama. In any case, what can we say when someone (who is the foster mother) teaches a child just sacrifice, accept abuse, make a child believe that yes, she turned out to be the reason for issues between her foster parents and yes, whatever Maaya said was true. Reminds of two instances (before Maaya existed on the show) when Choti Anu asked her foster parents to patch up and another where she started questioning if her foster parents were fighting because of her.
There was nothing shown about Anuj-Maaya till the character of Maaya (despite her past) started gaining popularity. The initial episodes with her arguments with Anuj about guardianship leading to him and Ankush digging her past.
There was a blatant attempt to glorify Anupama with the bangle show of how accepting she is of a woman with a dark past.
However, unlike the CVs who assume audiences are from decades ago, the audience seemed to have acknowledged that incidents and situations like Maaya's are a reality and one cannot judge/question people by their past.
In any case, a person who can dig out her past about eloping with her boyfriend to being sold off by the same guy she married can surely validate her rescue and rise of power.
So, when these tricks failed to generate hate for Maaya, the old trick in the book started, a love triangle with a one-sided love. And Bingo, hit bull's eye. None likes another woman so much so, that people start questioning a validated past🤷🏻♀️. It seems this time the writers got it right.
In any case, tell me one person who is not a villain in Anuj-Anupama's life? Oh wait, are they showing Anuj too as villain in Anupama’s life?
Still after ALL this and many hundreds of episodes, Anupama is where she was, no realisation, no learning, no growth but still she is the BESHT🤷🏻♀️.
